What We Do

Energy & Environment

Under the Energy and Environment division, ANCCD focuses on two core areas: 1) Sustainable and Renewable Energy and 2) Pollution and Climate Change.

ANCCD believes that eradicating energy power poverty and industrializing Africa will require sustainable energy solutions built upon a strong renewable energy and energy efficiency base. Creative ideas must be employed to realize this in realistic, affordable and profitable ways that offer our society the requisite, interconnected environmental, economic and social benefits.

ANCCD goal is to enlighten African citizens about pollution and climate change, its causes and impacts, and what individuals, companies, institutions, nations and the world can do to mitigate it. We recognize that significant irreversible damages have already been done to our climate and its impacts will continue to surface, with Africa bearing the brunt of climate change.

Investigate, educate and enlighten Nigerians on the impacts of different energy sources on climate change, possible mitigation and adaptation methods.

Sensitize the next generation on climate change and engender in them a strong desire to innovate and build an economically robust and buoyant and environmentally responsible society

Help develop, monitor policy and business developments that have real implications for climate change

Research focus and advocacy on impacts of development of some sectors on livelihoods, land, water, air and climate. These sectors include: oil and gas and liquidified natural gas (LNG); manufacturing, natural resource development and transportation and urban solutions.

ANCCD will work with communities, corporate organizations and the government at all levels to realize our core objectives.Communities.
